What's the simplest way to save a 32-bit heightmap? I can't seem to do it in GIMP. The 32 bit option that GIMP has is "X8 R8 G8 B8". It's not grayscale, apparently. Irrlicht throws a "compression mode not supported" error when I try to use this.

What file format do you use? Anyway, 32bit is only supported via the RAW loader, not sure if GIMP can save floats, as the color format looks like 4x8bit, not 32bit.

gimp can save to *.raw

Yeah, sure, question was in which way. Irrlicht needs the bare numbers stored consecutively. No header, no other organisational stuff.

GIMP Internal working formats about using 32bit floating point data were a big story on the gimp forum the other day. As of yet I'm not even sure Gimp operates with 32bit float data in ram. Will be coming soon though with GIMP 2.8+
